A true story - applicable today

[historian]

In 1962, the Brazilians were so fed up with their corrupt government that some students in a university, as a joke, put up a rhinocerous as a candidate. It was called Cacareco and guess what???? It was almost won!!!!!
Perhaps we can put a leech on the ballot to run against B*&(&(*&?

1. Reminds me of Mad Magazine

They did a piece where a gorilla dressed in a hat and trenchcoat became known as "Silent Stranger" and was elected president. It could be done.......

wait a minute........it HAS BEEN DONE!

3. Anybody remember Pigasus?

He was a pig that the Yippies offered as a candidate in 1968. (The Youth International Party -- Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, those people.) I don't think they actually got him on the ballot, though.
